The Baileys story began in Dublin in 1974. It took the creative team over two years of trial and error to successfully marry Irish whiskey with thick dairy cream two ingredients that usually don’t mix! Today, Baileys is a certified B Corp, ensuring high standards of social and environmental impact.
An interesting fact: the milk for Baileys comes from approximately 38,000 top-bred Irish cows, affectionately known as “Baileys Ladies.” These cows spend most of their year grazing on lush Irish pastures, and some farmers even play music to them to ensure they stay relaxed, which is said to improve the quality of the cream!
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: A beautiful, soft pastel pink that looks stunning in a glass.
- Aroma: Inviting scents of fresh, juicy strawberries mingled with sweet vanilla and a background of rich dairy.
- Palate: Silky and luxurious. The initial burst of ripe strawberry flavour is perfectly balanced by the warmth of triple-distilled whiskey.
- Finish: A smooth, lingering sweetness with a subtle hint of white chocolate that keeps you coming back for more.
Accolades & Quality
Baileys is the only cream liqueur brand to have won a medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition every single year since 2003. While the Strawberries & Cream edition is a contemporary twist, it maintains the same award-winning base that has made Baileys the #1 selling liqueur in the world. Its unique, patented formulation allows the cream to be preserved by the alcohol naturally, meaning it stays fresh for up to 24 months without artificial preservatives.
